Further, she stated that Staff had provided a few more minor linguistic changes, identifying I-20 Overlay and changing 'may' to 'shall', and asked that the Motion be made with the condition of Staff revisions.

Chuck Stark, Engineer for the project, was present. Stark identified the Standard Service restaurant, other restaurant locations, and this project. He said he anticipated ground breaking in March. Fowler asked about handicapped parking spaces to which Stark replied that the Landscaping Plan didn't show them, but the Site Plan did. Smith asked about the site for the 2nd building, to which Stark replied that it will be a pad with the utilities run up to it [until later construction], but all parking was already accounted for both buildings.


Fowler questioned the dumpster enclosures facing I-20 at the front of the building; Stark replied that the entrance to the building actually faces west, placing the dumpsters on the side.


Smith asked Fisher as to whether the zoning change would still require adherence to the I-20 Overlay, to which she and Stark explained that the PD was now the zoning, but the PD referenced the I-20 Overlay for requirements.
